Leaders of South Africa, Malaysia and Colombia have reiterated their determination to prevent Israel-bound vessels carrying weapons from using their ports, amid the regime’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza strip.

President Donald Trump said that the United States would take control of the Gaza Strip after the war there ends, a dramatic pledge and sharp change from previous American policy in the region.

The corridor includes the Rafah crossing, which was Gaza’s only outlet to the outside world not controlled by Israel until the Israeli army captured the entire corridor last May.

The first phase of the cease fire that paused 15 months of brutal warfare between Israel and Hamas militants is set to end on Saturday — and it’s unclear what comes next.
